Back in the siting room, Marcus was laughing at the little jokes that Laura made as they watched the segment. He was aware that his brother, Jackson, was barely saying a word. He had no idea what he would do with him. It was getting out of hand. He slightly wondered what Lucien had been doing by the door. Who was that person?Hopefully, it wasn’t one of their enemies trying to make things difficult for them. He waited for awhile, his hands clammy with anxiety. The images on the screen barely visible in his mind’s eye.Then, there were raised voices suddenly, and Lucien seemed to be aggravated by the situation, judging by the tone of his voice. Marcus looked at Jackson, and they immediately decoded that there was a situation going on out there.“I will go check what is keeping Lucien,” he announced loudly.“Be careful,” Laura said softly.He pecked her on the forehead, and slowly rose to his feet, making his way to the front door. He could barely see who it was, because Lucien was obs
“What?”The cold hands of panic swept into Marcus heart. Did he actually hear Emily properly? Or, maybe it was some giant joke that she spawn from hell to trap him into being in a relationship with her?She cleaned her eyes profusely. “You heard me, Marcus. I’m carrying your child.”He grabbed her by the arm, and shook her wild. A burning rage almost threatened to take him. He had never really felt so annoyed in his whole life, and this woman was doing just that.“Don’t play with me. It was a fucking one night stand, and no-one gets pregnant like that. Don’t you have anything going on in your life, other than to trap men in your web of lies?” He screamed into her face.She sobbed in response. Her body shaking profusely. Marcus swore loudly, and let go of her. His hand went through his hair, roughening it even more. He couldn’t even see anything other than red.“The sounds of your tears is so irritating to me. So, please, stop. Tell me the damn truth. You’re not pregnant, and it’s defi
How could he?Laura let the tears flow wildly down her cheeks. She was so ashamed of herself. She was ashamed that she had been so trusting of an absolute stranger. It didn’t make sense that she had fallen for his lies so hard.She turned back, and noted he was still with his other woman. She was holding him from coming after her. She vaguely wondered if he had told her the same lies that he had fed her with.Marcus was such a player. He wanted to have his cake and eat it. The bastard! She turned back to the route, and let her legs take her forward. She thought back at Sam. She could have been more patient with him. She wasn’t so sure if he would have come around to giving her the respect she deserved, but at least, he didn’t cheat on her.Marcus did. The man who she had assumed was her soulmate, and partner in crime had succeeded in breaking her in the worst way. “Why did he tell me he loved me when all he wanted to do was cheat me? Why did he make me feel like I was the only girl i
Where could Laura have gone?Marcus stared at the paths, and tried making himself to be calm. He wasn’t sure about where she had gone, which path she had taken or if she was even safe.He tussled his hair, and tried to focus. It was hard to do that. The last time she had being lost, he had barely known a thing about her. There was only thing that had made sense, that she was his mate. But, this time, it was different. He had learnt to be comfortable with her, laugh with her, and touch in ways he had never imagined he would touch a woman. He didn’t know what he could do to focus on finding her.The worst was his wolf. He was antsy, and he could feel it so strongly. It made it difficult to concentrate on anything. “Where did you go, Laura?” He asked out loud.Marcus took a shaky breath. He stared at the woods around him. There was only way out of the whole thing, and that was to let his wolf take over. He didn’t want to shift into his wolf, so he thought like one.His senses being hei
“Relax?” Marcus asked in disbelief.Jackson grabbed Emily, and helped her to stand upright. She seemed to be in shock. Marcus didn’t care though. He had never hated anyone as much as he hated Emily at that moment. She disgusted him, and noting how his brothers were quick to defend her, annoyed him even more.“Yes, relax. I understand that you’re really frustrated and angry about the whole situation, but you need to put your emotions in check. She could be carrying your heir.” Lucien pointed out smartly.Marcus scoffed. “No other woman can carry my child other than Laura.” He said stubbornly.Emily held Jackson as a support stand, and walked closer to Marcus. “You should have thought of that when you had sex with me that night.”Marcus pointed his finger at her. “Just shut up.”There was a shift in temperament. His brothers looked at him with a sigh. It was quite evident that he didn’t want to listen to a word they said or understand the situation.“Emily, please go home. We would have
“Eh, Laura isn’t here,” Marcus said softly.Marcus averted his eyes from Edwin’s piercing gaze. He felt completely sick to his stomach, and for the first time in a long while, he wanted to run away from here, and never come back.“What do you mean she isn’t here? Where is my daughter, Marcus?” The older man snapped angrily.Marcus swallowed the lump in his throat. “Eh…”“Jeez! Are you stuttering? What happened to my daughter? Where is she?” Edwin screamed at Marcus.Marcus licked his dry lips. He felt like he was the only one in the room with an angry father. He knew without being told that Edwin didn’t joke with his daughter.“Oh, my goodness!” Edwin cursed.Marcus licked his lip once more, and turned to Edwin. “She has been… kidnapped.” He said flatly.Marcus watched as the older man whirled around to face him, and his blood seemed to drain from his face. He remained rooted on the spot, as he waited for what would happen next.Never in his life, had he felt the need to be hit like t
What was banging?It was definitely her head. Laura placed two hands at either side of her head as she massaged her head. She was having a slight migraine, and it hurt so bad.She slowly tried to move but she couldn’t. It was almost as if she was trapped and that messed her up even more. “Oh, God! What’s going on? Marcus, baby, are you there?” She called out.There was no response, only the migraine she felt was certain. She slowly turned her fingers around her brain, trying her best to make sure the pain goes down a bit.Slowly, she opened her eyes slightly, and was struck with the low light. Laura looked around in confusion, and it became certain that she was not in Marcus house.What the hell happened?Towards the left side, the cotton was drawn tight, shielding every form of light from entering into the room. The low light only made her note the weird cabinet and a nude figure at the side.Laura gasped, as her main impulse was to run. Her toes coiled inwards in fright, but still
Marcus sat at the breakfast table looking so solemn. Seated beside him was Jackson, steering his cup of coffee. Marcus sighed repeatedly as he stared at his tea. It looked bland suddenly.Laura would have made it all look so easy. He missed her so badly. It actually hurt so much. The last thing he wanted was to bring pain to her, and now, he had done just that.He had spent his time thinking about the situation, and despite how much he spun it, the truth was that Emily had been a catalyst to her decision. He still thought she should have handled the situation better, but she was a woman.Women, he was starting to see, were emotional creatures, and they didn’t understand some certain things so easily. He itched his hair in frustration. He only hoped that he could easily get her back. When she came back, he would try his best to do the right things, and not upset her.Yes! There was Emily to consider in all these, but he also knew that there would be a solution to this matter. In his he
